Initially, we were supposed to live in Arsi Enfi Beach Hotel 4 *, but upon arrival we immediately contacted the travel agency and the staff to change our room. Hearing that my husband speaks German, we were immediately moved for free and paid for the transfer by taxi to a hotel from the same Arsi Paradise Beach Hotel 4 * chain. But there we went to another hotel of the same chain Arsi Blue Beach Hotel 4 * (3 minutes walk).
The room was given on the top floor, with a beautiful view of the sea and a terrace. The hotel is recently refurbished but the smell of sewage is always around. Rooms are cleaned every day, but towels are changed if you ask. The garbage was taken out a couple of times by ourselves, as the smell became unbearable. There is only one elevator for the entire hotel, and there are 6 floors. Only 1 person can get into the elevator with a baby carriage.
The food in all hotels was monotonous (cucumber and tomato salads, obscenely red sausage, sausages with scrambled eggs, meat in the form of gravy and rarely fish, desserts from semolina of all colors of the rainbow and jelly, dried fruits for porridge with garbage and mud stuck), the most the best - soups and watermelons with melons (they are difficult to spoil). The rest is overdried and the cheapest that was on the market (incl. soy semi-finished products! ). Sometimes pancakes were fried. I drank wine once, then my head hurt, as if I had been drinking all night. We went to the city to eat local food, since the hotel did not give anything "Turkish" (I have something to compare with, for example, in Kemer there were always local sweets and even kebabs).

The hotel is located on the first line, to the beach - just cross the road, sunbeds and umbrellas - paid (50 Turkish liras). There are buses to the city center (1.101), in which it is better to pay for the fare by card, not by cash. Near the hotel there is a bus stop, the nearest supermarket Migros is a 15-minute walk.
The sea is clean, the beach is sandy, but the entry into the sea - pebbles, sun loungers and umbrellas - is not the first freshness.
Of the hotel services, my husband tried the hammam at Arsi Blue Beach Hotel 4 * (50 euros for a hammam, massage, peeling), he was pleased, especially with the massage. There is also a gym, but only for appearances, as the machines are old and not securely attached to the floor. Better to just run in the morning.
The hotel was booked through Annex Tour, but this time the work of the agency was not satisfied. Upon arrival, the representative of the company did not come to us. They waited for the transfer to the airport for almost an hour, and at 2 am, as the driver was given the wrong addresses and he was literally looking for hotels and tourists. But we arrived on time.
Bottom line: a mid-level hotel for tourists who are primarily interested in the beach and the sea. There is zero entertainment, but there were too many Tarkan songs from morning to evening.
